#' Calculate the Mean AMR Distance
#'
#' Calculates a normalised mean for antimicrobial resistance between multiple observations, to help to identify similar isolates without comparing antibiograms by hand.
#' @param x a vector of class [rsi][as.rsi()], [mic][as.mic()] or [disk][as.disk()], or a [data.frame] containing columns of any of these classes
#' @param ... variables to select (supports [tidyselect language][tidyselect::language] such as `column1:column4` and `where(is.mic)`, and can thus also be [antibiotic selectors][ab_selector()]
#' @param combine_SI 	a [logical] to indicate whether all values of S and I must be merged into one, so the input only consists of S+I vs. R (susceptible vs. resistant), defaults to `TRUE`
#' @details The mean AMR distance is effectively [the Z-score](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_score); a normalised numeric value to compare AMR test results which can help to identify similar isolates, without comparing antibiograms by hand.
#'
#' MIC values (see [as.mic()]) are transformed with [log2()] first; their distance is thus calculated as `(log2(x) - mean(log2(x))) / sd(log2(x))`.
#'
#' R/SI values (see [as.rsi()]) are transformed using `"S"` = 1, `"I"` = 2, and `"R"` = 3. If `combine_SI` is `TRUE` (default), the `"I"` will be considered to be 1.
#'
#' For data sets, the mean AMR distance will be calculated per column, after which the mean per row will be returned, see *Examples*.
#'
#' Use [amr_distance_from_row()] to subtract distances from the distance of one row, see *Examples*.
#' @section Interpretation:
#' Isolates with distances less than 0.01 difference from each other should be considered similar. Differences lower than 0.025 should be considered suspicious.
